Reprint of a fine workmanlike soldier's life, by the American who commanded the diciest beach landing on Normandy D-day. Son of a Missouri schoolteacher, Bradley chose the army for a career, but 32 years passed before he was in action. He helped clear the Axis armies out of Tunisia and Sicily, and under his West Point classmate Eisenhower ran the largest army (1.2 million men) the USA ever put into the field. He cared a lot about his soldiers, and shows in this book why he sent them where he did, ending in a victorious junction with the Soviet army on the Elbe. (Kirkus UK)
